Screening by NCI of 35,000 herbs
for potential anti-cancer action determined that 3000 plants
have some usefulness in fighting cancer. Sacred Medicine Sanctuary
offers a variety of tonics, teas, boluses, and extracts containing
herbs known to be effective in cancer treatment.

Parasites sometimes die in the place where
they had lived. They are then consumed by bacteria. This imposes
elaborate demands on the immune system. Die off, both of malignant
tissue and parasites, is important enough to warrant the use
of adjunctive protocols for people using herbs to address these
conditions.

Where there is infection, toxicity, acidity,
and various other conditions in the vicinity of the tumor, responses
to bloodroot applications can take place in minutes and affect
much more tissue than the actual site where the paste is applied.
Then, depending on the product used and the skill of the person
using the product, inflammation, pain, and ultimately scarring
can be more than some people expect.

In a study conducted in Germany, 25 patients
were administered a dry extract of boswellia for one week.
The tumors were then surgically removed. About half the patients
had such significant regressions that the tumors had all but
disappeared. They used a dosage of 800 mg. three times a day.

The late Dr. William Kelley believed that
about 7% of patients with cancer benefit indirectly from the
use of chaparral. He felt it acts as a natural chelator of
liver and pancreatic toxins resulting from exposure to chemicals,
medications and drug abuse, and pollutants.

The use of goldenseal was taught to early
American colonists by Cherokee medicine men and women. It was
used in many cancer treatments by such successful physicians
as John Pattison whose work is discussed in my book. Pattison
began his career using bloodroot and changed to goldenseal because
he regarded it as clinically superior.

Research professor Henry Lai and assistant
research professor Narendra Singh have exploited the chemical
properties of a wormwood derivative to target breast cancer cells
with surprisingly effective results. A study in the latest issue
of the journal Life Sciences describes how the derivative killed
virtually all human breast cancer cells exposed to it within
16 hours.
